I recently moved my lab to Purdue University and am looking for graduate students. We are working at the interface of population genomics, quantitative genetics and functional genomics to understand how plants adapt to extreme environments. Reach out if you would like to discuss potential projects.

Excited to share that I joined the Dry Bean Breeding and Genetics Lab at Michigan State University last month as a Research Associate. I’ll be working on projects focused on the genomics of the white mold pathogen in dry beans and advancing resistance to anthracnose in dry beans.

Can a resistance gene from one crop protect another from the same pathogen?
This generally only works if the crops are closely related.
Now, Du et al. show a pepper 🌶 resistance gene can work in rice 🌾, so long as you deliver some associated genes!
